This is a quote from the web doc, who I personally have had wonderful help for cats with bladder issues re bloodroot- "Everyone now thinks that Bloodroot is caustic and can "burn off healthy skin" just because of the association of bloodroot with the highly caustic chloride of zinc that is in these salves! Chloride of zinc is, in fact, what is in dry cell batteries and it is simply hydrochloric acid soaked zinc powder. Please wake up people!"
I believe the man has something there! I am thinking of trying his drops on my baby's tumor and still giving him bloodroot capsules."

"The scary stuff about zinc chloride is quite unfounded. It is a caustic but the safest one to use, and has pH 5.5 - not so far from neutral. Medically, it's injected directly into the bloodstream for zinc deficiency and for parenteral feeding. It's in baby food, cosmetics, livestock feed. Dr Mohs stated it was the best caustic for bloodroot salves because it does not effect normal tissue. Without its use, he would have achieved no fame. Dermatologists still use his paste today for skin cancers. (Though they still cut the tumor out before the immune system can push it out). It's basically the same stuff that Weldon Fells and Harry Hoxsey used. And it's what I used, too, to remove a melanoma.

"Hi Jordan's Mom. There is a supplement from Nature's Sunshine Products called BPX. I don't know of any pet owners who have tried it but I do have customers who've used it with really good results. I'm not sure what dose to recommend without knowing your cats weight. I also suggest not feeding commercial food but if you do make sure it is completely grain, corn, wheat and soy free. Also milk thistle extract should be added. I get it for my dogs who have seizure conditions that can only be managed with Phenobarbital and Kepra. I put them on milk thistle as soon as I had to start the medications. Phenobarbital is a drug that doesn't just cause liver damage it will cause damage. My little George and Tina have been on this over three years and their every blood work they've had even as recent as two months ago show perfect liver function. Milk thistle not only protects the liver it also promotes new cell growth in the liver and kidneys. I've often seen conditions like this in humans and one thing in almost all shown in blood work is abnormal liver function. Worth a shot at any rate."Posted By Maryland (Ca) on 08/30/2021
"Rose, how did you use it to remove melanoma? The website you mentioned doesn't exist anymore."
